El Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico, ubicado en Santander, es un espacio fascinante que muestra la estrecha relación entre Cantabria y el mar. Con una colección amplia y bien organizada, el museo ofrece exposiciones sobre la pesca, la navegación, la biología marina y la historia marítima de la región, todo presentado de manera didáctica y muy visual. Destacan sus acuarios con especies del Cantábrico, que permiten observar de cerca la biodiversidad marina, así como réplicas y objetos históricos que cuentan la evolución de la actividad marítima en la zona. Las instalaciones son modernas y accesibles, ideales para visitas en familia o para cualquier persona interesada en el mundo del mar. El personal es amable y ofrece información clara que enriquece la experiencia. Además, el museo organiza actividades y talleres que hacen la visita aún más dinámica y entretenida. Es importante tener en cuenta que no hay visitas guiadas a las 12 de la mañana, aunque los carteles lo hacen muy intuitivo Sin duda, el Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico es una parada imprescindible para entender mejor la conexión cultural y natural entre Cantabria y el mar.

Un museo muy completo en cuanto a lo que promete: historia, sociedad pesquera, biología marina, entre otras cosas. Estuvimos allí durante dos horas sin aburrirnos. Está todo muy bien montado y hay personas indicándote cómo hacer el recorrido para una mejor experiencia. El acuario para concluir la visita está muy chulo.

Muy recomendable para entender la evolución de la pesca y la vida marítima del Cantábrico. Un precio de 10€ por adulto y gratis para niños de 3 años y docentes. En la planta baja el acuario con los peces típicos de la zona que hacen que los más pequeños acaben la visita con ilusión. Muy recomendable. Una mejora sería habilitar la última planta para que las familias pudieran comer y completar un día muy especial con esas vistas.

Como profesional tener la oportunidad de crear y realizar un evento en el prestigioso Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico gracias a la amabilidad , respeto, empatía y entrega total de su directora, Lucía Fernández Granados, es un privilegio de alto nivel. Gracias una y otra vez Lucía por el amor que pones en tu labor a favor del arte y la cultura. Gracias a personas como tú tenemos la oportunidad de crecer interiormente como sociedad más culta y sensible.

Una maravilla el museo y sobretodo el acuario. Los peques se lo pasaron de lujo y alucinaron y los mayores tuvimos la oportunidad de hablar con empleados del acuario que además de instruirnos fueron super amables. El buzo que daba de comer a los tiburones se estrenaba y su compañero, pendiente de él en todo momento, nos fue contando peculiaridades de los animales que allí tenían y compartimos experiencias en un ratito muy agradable.

Me encantó la visita como siempre, he llevado a mi hija. Para verlo juntos, aún que ya lo conocemos de sobra los dos. Pero hemos compartido tiempo y fabricado recuerdos, nos sentimos muy orgullosos de nuestro museo. Aunque sea pequeño. 😃

Gratamente sorprendidos con el Museo. Tiene una buena colección, un acuario precioso y una terraza con vistas al mar espectacular. Muy recomendable para ir con niños. Además el personal es super amable.

Museo de historia naval, marino y acuario. Interesante para ir con niños sobretodo la parte del acuario. Imprescindible ir con entrada ya. Los martes es gratuito pero hay que reservar antes.

A lovely museum! the top floor has a panoramic view and a cafe, beneath is a floor full of history. The general information was in Spanish, French and English. Then there's a floor of aquatic animals with the aquarium. The aquarium is quite big for being in a museum, I loved it. Overall recommend to visit to learn some history and watch some fish (they have jellyfish, starfish and small sharks!!)

Can Osmanoglu

It is an interesting place to go with your kid. They have 2 floors up and 1 floor down. On second floor , you have a panoramic view and -1 floor , you have an aquarium with a lot of type of fishes

Damian Mieszczynski

It's a very good value for money. Aquarium on the bottom floor and amazing view from the top balcony. The floors are separated in to different time scales and ages of see exploration and see harbouring. The kids run thru it but did not been bored. Lacks a lot of English translation but Google lense helped at that part. Staff was very kind and considerate and the ticket prices are very reasonable. Awesome to hide from scorching heat.

We really enjoyed it! The maritime museum has an aquarium on the ground floor — fascinating for both kids and adults. Impressive skeletons of sea creatures and interesting ship models. Definitely recommend visiting if you're in Santander.

Lynsey Dent

We really enjoyed this museum and aquarium. There are 3 main sections and each was excellent. The history part had intricate models to illustrate all elements of the development of the fishing and boat building industries. The aquarium was amazing with a wide arrange of fish and aquatic life, really beautiful and incredible to see. The third section was natural history with the feature point of the immense whale skeletons. Would thoroughly recommend. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

An October visit to this brilliant museum experience. The history of Spain's maritime ventures are there for the visitors to see. Beautiful scale models of sailing ships of the past to recent times. Marine life and many other aspects of the Spanish seafaring history then and now are displayed in such a way to make it a wonderful experience for the visitors . I will return.

A lovely place to visit, very interesting we were there for about 2 hrs so much to see. We also had a gorgeous lunch upstairs the views were absolutely amazing! All the staff were very pleasant and can accommodate many languages. Well done.

Worth a visit! I enjoyed this museum a lot due to the many beautiful exhibits & topics that were divided into floors, but connected by the maritime theme. I would have needed more than 1 + 1/2 hours but that's because I took a lot of photos & videos & it was closing time. You start at the top with a viewing platform that shows you the ocean underneath the museum, the beach & the opposite coast (& more). There is also the coffee shop of the museum. Downstairs you find the main exhibition that was larger than expected & on the bottom floor you find the aquarium. There is also a small museum shop & lockers for luggage. If you're interested in ships, aquariums, fishing, the ocean, maritime history etc, then go for it. I'd recommend it 👍

Absolutely fantastic. The museum was great, the aquarium was an experience we would never forget and the restaurant at the top with the amazing view was the icing on the cake. A MUST if you are in or close to Santander.

Un museo muy interesante, consta de dos plantas, en la inferior tienen un acuario, el cual lo han modernizado con pantallas que indican lo que hay en ese acuario, el problema es que para ver todo te tiras un buen rato, con lo fácil que serían los carteles de toda la vida que los puedes leer tranquilamente… El personal muy agradable. Museo totalmente recomendable para conocer un poco de historia marítima. El precio para mayores de 12 años son 10€.

Marijke Van Buggenhout

Really nice museum. We liked all the floors. Our kids loved the aquarium. Small improvement world be tags in other languages with the explanations. Most items and general info was explained in different languages but not everything.

steven walter

Nice museum with aquarium of local sea like. Exhibits in both Spanish and English. Covers the history of Maritime actually in the region from Roman times to today. Definitely worth doing on a rainy day. Also has a restaurant on the to floor and a nice park for kids next door.

Me pareció bastante normalito, sin grandes sorpresas, pero está en buen estado y bien cuidado. Es un lugar ideal para ir con niños, ya que ofrece una experiencia educativa y entretenida. Aunque no es muy grande, cumple su función si buscas una visita tranquila y familiar.

Matthew Doerr

Great little museum and aquarium. The kids really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the less than friendly attendants followed them around shushing them. No cafe, but you weren’t allowed to eat your own food on the plentiful tables on their lovely terrace. Overall, kids loved it. Staff were terrible.

Edgar Here and There

This is something of a maritime museum and aquarium rolled into one. Found at the sea edge in Santander in a modern building. The museum has exhibitions on the fishing industry and also explores the ecology of sealife and the sea. It also looks at the history of fishing in the Cantabria region. Not in the top range of aquariums, but worth a visit.
